Fantasy Impact:

Chavez’s 7 earned runs in 6.2 spring innings after an NRI deal with the Rangers led to his Friday release, pushing the 41-year-old back to free agency with dim prospects. His age and struggles weigh. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues might stash him, hoping his veteran arm lands a 2025 bullpen gig elsewhere if a team takes a chance.
